Lockdown Diaries- Nature is healing

I was sitting in my chamber and few customers came to me for help. The times were testing as we were facing the wrath of mother nature. It was serious business in front of me but the mind was not allowing me to work religiously. Somehow i serviced the customers in anger and let myself pacify.

 How has this anger , anxiety and rage crept in me. I was cool as cucumber but it seems lockdown blues have started showing its signs. It is indeed the best time to go back to my writing skills. As we enter into the Lockdown 4.0, it is the time for penning down my thoughts and experiences about the lockdown hereon daily basis. I may be a bit late but as we say a stitch in time saves nine, i begin by my experiences and challenges I met with so far. 

The March end brought with it the first instalment of lockdown and for me initially I was unable to understand the seriousness of the issue. As we passed through the first phase I was exuberant about the fact that the corona virus in India shall not spread too much. This confidence was coming primarily from the media and some half baked truths about the virus. In fact in my workplace certain ladies got actually quite conscious about this and that too very early. I could see the meticulous approach of these women about handling the virus infection and the precautionary measure they were taking. While some were adamant about the percentage of alcohol in sanitizer to be more than 70 %, the others were taking precautions about opening and closing the doors in the safest manner. I had been noticing this and was thinking if it was so scary. 

Being in a family with medicos around, I was getting the daily updates about the virus spread and its impact. The research on the topic was on going and so it was baffling even for them to explain the virus symptoms and the measures to be taken for its control. The social distancing was trending everywhere and we started observing the same in our home. The two medicos started running from us and even i started running from my family members considering that I was also exposing myself to the evil virus. 

While everyone was trying to handle the pandemic in his/her own way, I was things about the only one moral from my class 6th story of Old Tirumala which enunciates the moral fibre that “EVERY THING HAPPENS FOR OUR OWN GOOD”. I was wondering whether there was any one who was benefitting from this crisis. And the answer was lying in the below gif.

 

THE MOTHER NATURE WAS HEALING .

My award winning essay on State Bank

During my sojourn through State Bank, I received numerous appreciations and accolades. One of the noted one was the Essay Competition in March last year wherein my entry was declared the third best in entire India. I reproduce the same here. The topic was related to making State Bank the numero uno bank in the world. Please read and do provide your valuable feedback.   “Business success is less a function of grandiose predictions than it is a result of being able to respond rapidly to real changes as they occur.” Jack Welch, former CEO at GE & famous management guru. State Bank of India has been the pioneer in Indian Banking Industry-pioneer in banking practices, pioneer in products & services and pioneer in the management & implementation. Yet the bank is not where it should have been. Careful analysis of the top 20 banks globally indicates failure to put State Bank at the top. Even current Finance Minister strategizes to put Indian Banking at the world stage...

Conversation with God

A little boy hurt by the worldly ploy Called upon the God And asked “My Lord, Why you gave me heart” Lord replied –“Son- to understand others feelings and emotions” The boy said” God What about my feelings!!!” God replied “For that you have family and friends” The boy further asked” What happens when they don’t value” God replied” Listen to them all the time” The boy said” Have been doing that, never arguing, listening all the time.” God appreciated” That is really god!” “But my listening has become weakness. They consider me stupid and never value my love” The boy sobs. God was awe-stuck but said” Sacrifice yourself!” The boy cried ”Have been killing my feelings for them But nobody respects my emotions. This makes me sad, lost and deserted” Hearing this Lord smiled” Son you passed the real test.” The boy asked “Which test?” God said” the test for your place in my heart. I give you a permanent place in my heart. Come my child…leave this world and come with me” At once the little boy sm...

End of life!!!!!

This is for the people shattered in love.... When the eyes stop dreaming about you When the tears dry up The time has come To say good bye When the heart stops beating your name The feelings burn up in the flame The moment has come For the innings to end When no water fulfills your thirst Since the love has disappeared It is time my friend For the life to end When no food suffices your hunger For the taste no longer lingers It is the time my darling To meet the real king When the life is without any mission For you are not the part of the succession It is high time my jane To lose the gathered fame When the smoke becomes your companion Since the long talks drowned in the ocean My love, the time is ripe For the life to wipe When the aloofness becomes your friend For the friendship has come to an end The time has come For the life to end
